Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 21 AIL 2015 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Passage Two: The Apostrophe to Vanity
Captions available
The idea
An eighteenth-century prose passage addressing Vanity directly, beginning O Vanity. Unit seven defined apostrophe, direct address to an abstraction, which the anchor's glossary does not carry despite the board using one in its own sample.
In practice
Vanity, addressed as a person.
Where people slip
The glossary omits the term.
